Great stay

We stayed at this awesome VRBO. We came for our daughter’s graduation from Duke and found it to be close to campus, near grocery stores, a really nice neighborhood for walking, and walkable access to great restaurants and shops. Lots of laughter and good memories were made here. Loved the bonus fire pit. Great stay!!!

Best girl weekend oasis

Met my bff for a weekend and the house was just a perfect mix of cozy chic. I always have a bag packed with paper towels, dish soap, hand soap you name it and I did not have to use one thing. Truly the house was such a nice quiet spot for a girl weekend. Showers are to die for, beds so so dreamy. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Gals Getaway

The property is beautiful and made our girls trip exactly what we wanted it to be. Wonderful kitchen, dining, and living area to share meals and coffee etc together. We took walks in the neighborhood everyday and night to admire the old homes and great landscaping, and walking distance to coffee, breakfast and even a grocery store. Short ride to anything you'd want to do in durham. Beds were super comfortable. 10/10 recommend.
